It looks like your AO settings are too low, I would bump it to at least 3 but you might have to go to 4.

Your blurriness and shadow subdivisions are also too low, I would change those from 2 to at least 3 and see if you need to go further.

You can probably get away with changing your Error Threshold to something like 10%. That will speed up your render and you probably won’t get any additional artifacting.

I attached a screenshot of render settings that I usually start with. If I’m getting noise then I’ll take the main Sampling Subdivisions to 4 and change the blurriness subdivs and shadow subdivs to 4 as well.

See how that works.

Ah I see, so I’m assuming it’s not as simple as replacing sourceRectAtTime() with sampleImage()?

Hey Dan,
That expression was working brilliantly in CC 2014 but when I tried to use it in CC and CS6 it gave me an undefined error message. Was there anything in there that was specific to newer versions of AE?
Thanks so much!

WOW.

You, sir, are amazing. Thank you so very much, that worked perfectly and will definitely save us a lot of time. Very very grateful, Dan!
